This Sunday, December 8, 2019, 10:30 am — On the second Sunday of Advent, our theme will be Peace. We will hear more of the story of Elizabeth and Zechariah as they await the birth of their miracle child, John (Luke 1:18-25), and wonder how times of silence and solitude connect to our work for greater justice and peace. The choir will sing “A Shoot Shall Come Forth” – Ian
“Peace can’t be known except in the words of its making, a grammar of justice, a syntax of mutual aid” – Denise Levertov
